FIRE ECOLOGY
SPECIES: Acer circinatum | Vine Maple
FIRE ECOLOGY OR ADAPTATIONS :
Vine maple is well adapted to fire. Following aerial crown kill or
destruction by fire, root crowns often produce numerous sprouts
[6,51,63]. This long-lived, seral species often persists in the
understory of late seral or climax coniferous stands. Its sprouting
ability allows it to become part of the immediate postfire community
when the conifer overstory is removed or killed [6,51].
POSTFIRE REGENERATION STRATEGY :
survivor species; on-site surviving root crown or caudex
